The land. When setting up a horse stable yard, the most important aspect is probably the amount of land that can be built upon. In fact, land is the limiting factor to what could be constructed, and the more grazing space available the better. Twenty-acre land is a good size for a small horse stable yard, but many try to keep horses on less. With this particular size property, a stable block can be established which can hold up to ten horses starting out, or up to twenty for more professional yards, and there will be enough space still for you to construct an arena plus several paddocks.

The stables and barns. The stables themselves come in a variety of styles depending on type of stable yard and how you want it built. They have to always, however, be sturdy, clean, just right for horses to lay down, and well ventilated. With respect to the location, additional factors such as warmth, has to be considered. There are several other options, such as flooring, that need to be dealt with. The more time, money, and better planning is given to the construction the longer they will last and horse owners will be happy to pay much more to keep their horses in them.

The arena. Depending on the type of stable yard, the arena will have to serve different purposes. Whatever the type is, yard size and flooring are important. While it will be more useful having a larger arena, a lot more money and time will also be needed to maintain it. A great surface made of sand, fibre and rubber serves several purposes given that it's not way too deep. Companies globally offer excellent flooring that suits most disciplines, racing to dressage, which may as expected come at a price. The initial expense of a supporting and perfectly draining flooring will pay in time as horses will suffer less injuries caused by poor footing and it is also appealing to most boarders.

The waste disposal. A muck heap should be put near enough to the stables to be convenient but must also be far away enough in order to keep the horses healthy. Arrangements should also be made to make sure manure is regularly collected; which is often done by a local farmer who can use the manure as fertilizer.
